W

ell, SCANNING THE CHARTS is just what it says it is.ย  I, the quirky founder and do-it-all at The Musical Hype scans through the Billboard Charts and picks out things that catch my eye. This column isnโ€™t extensive, but rather short and sweet.ย  This week, I picked out 9 notable observations from the Billboard 200 ๐Ÿ“‰, ย and 3 observations from the Billboard Hot 100 ๐Ÿ“‰, with ๐ŸŽ™ Adele dominating both charts.

Billboard 200 ๐Ÿ“‰

Adele, 30 [๐Ÿ“ท: Melted Stone / Columbia]๐Ÿ’ญ While she was unable to secure โ€˜a milli,โ€™ ๐ŸŽ™ Adele sees ๐Ÿ’ฟ 30 debut robustly at no. 1 on the Billboard 200 to the tune of 839,000 units according to Billboard.

๐Ÿ’ญ As to be expected, Adele knocks ๐Ÿ’ฟ Red (Taylorโ€™s Version) ๐ŸŽ™ Taylor Swift to no. 2 in its second week on the charts.

๐Ÿ’ญ After debuting at no. 2, ๐ŸŽ™ Silk Sonic โ€“ ๐ŸŽ™ Bruno Mars and ๐ŸŽ™ Anderson .Paak โ€“ see ๐Ÿ’ฟ An Evening with Silk Sonic slip to no. 4 in their second week on the charts.ย 

๐Ÿ’ญ ๐ŸŽ™ Robert Plant and ๐ŸŽ™ Alison Krauss ๐Ÿ’ฟ Raise the Roof at no. 7.

๐Ÿ’ญ The top-20 sees a couple of notable re-entries.ย  ๐ŸŽ™ The Weeknd (๐Ÿ’ฟ The Highlights) re-enters the mix at no. 10 while ๐ŸŽ™ twenty one pilots (๐Ÿ’ฟ Scaled and Icy) re-enters at no. 15.

๐Ÿ’ญ ๐ŸŽ™ French Montana looks beastly on the cover art for his 2021 album, ๐Ÿ’ฟ They Got Amnesia.ย  Unfortunately, that buff chest wasnโ€™t enough to make the LP do big numbers. He debuts tepidly at no. 59.ย  Still, the eye candy is #LIT.

๐Ÿ’ญ ๐ŸŽ™ Lana Del Rey hasnโ€™t ignited the charts with her second album of 2021, ๐Ÿ’ฟ Blue Banisters.ย  This week โ€“ just the albumโ€™s fifth week on the charts โ€“ it slides from no. 93 to no. 161. OUCH! Blue Banisters debuted at no. 8.

๐Ÿ’ญ ๐ŸŽ™ Snoop Dogg (+ various artists) debuts at no. 166 with ๐Ÿ’ฟ Snoop Dog Presents: Algorithm.

๐Ÿ’ญ ๐ŸŽ™ Bryson Tiller cracks the Billboard 200.ย  ๐Ÿ’ฟ A Different Christmas bows modestly at no. 194.


Billboard Hot 100 ๐Ÿ“‰

๐Ÿ’ญ ๐ŸŽ™ Adele rebounds to no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with ๐ŸŽต โ€œEasy on Meโ€.ย  This marks the singleโ€™s fifth week in the penthouse.ย  Notably, ๐ŸŽต โ€œOh My Godโ€ from ๐Ÿ’ฟ 30 debuts at no. 5, giving her two top-five hits simultaneously. ย Also, all 12 songs from 30 debut on the Billboard Hot 100!
